    The Porte Rivotte is a 16th century military structure in the Rivotte sector, near the historic centre of Besançon. It is one of the last two remaining city gates of Besançon, along with the Porte taillée (the Porte Noire is not a gate but a triumphal arch).

      We walked down to the gate from Vesta and this allowed us to admire the gate from different points of view….

        An impressive place to take the stairs up to the citadel.
